Traditional Ag Group in Salinas Deploys California LightWorks LED Systems, Becomes Cannabis Powerhouse

A traditional agriculture group in Salinas has successfully implemented California LightWorks' MegaDrive LED grow light system. This widescale deployment covers most of its million square feet of cannabis cultivation.

The group, including Green Vibe, has leveraged its long-term market perspective and efficient production techniques to expand significantly. Greenhouses now account for over half of the cultivation area, transitioning to more energy-efficient LED systems from HPS.

Supplemental lighting is vital for consistent year-round yields and quality. The patented MegaDrive system simplifies installation and cuts costs, essential for maintaining profitability in fluctuating light conditions. These benefits have positioned the group as one of California's leading cannabis cultivators.

George Mekhtarian, CEO of California LightWorks, highlighted the system's reliability and cost efficiency as deciding factors for Green Vibe's choice. The ongoing transition aims to cover all cultivation areas with the advanced LED system, reinforcing their market stance.
